Nearly 5,500 international students from 129 countries enrolled in each of the University's ten academic schools this fall.  International enrollment records were set at all levels:  Undergraduate - 2,360; Freshmen - 521; Graduate and Professional - 3,119, and; Total Enrollment - 5,479. 

A breakdown of enrollment can be found at:  http://www.iss.purdue.edu/ISSOffice/Reports.cfm 

This fall semesters saw Purdue recruiting on no fewer than seven recruitment trips to Asia, Canada, China, India, Latin America, the Middle East, and Turkey.  Our recruitment efforts are really paying off!  We have received 30% more applications than at this point in time compared to last year, and this is on top of last year's 30% increase!  Overseas interest in Purdue has never been stronger! 

If you are interested in helping ISS recruit international undergraduate students, please let us know.  You may be able to attend a University Fair with a Purdue recruiter, make a presentation at a high school, or, simply be a contact person for a newly admitted Boilermaker.  There are many ways you can help so let us know I you are interested!  The contact person is Dr. Michael A. Brzezinski, Associate Dean of International Programs and Director of International Students and Scholars - mbrzezinski@purdue.edu
